The relation between appointment reason notes and clinical record notes
When you make an appointment, you can add notes to the appointment record. An
appointment record has two types of notes that you can use to record appointment
information. You can add appointment reason notes. And you can add
clinical description notes.
Appointment reason notes
Use appointment reason notes to record general information about why the
appointment is necessary. A receptionist usually adds appointment reason notes.Figure 1. Appointment reason notes
After you save the appointment, ezyVet automatically
makes a copy of the appointment reason notes in the presenting problem
notes of the related clinical record:
Note:ezyVet makes the copy after you initially save the
appointment. If you subsequently change the appointment reason notes of the
appointment, ezyVet does not automatically change
the related presenting problem notes. And if you change the presenting problem
notes of a clinical record, ezyVet does not
automatically change the appointment reason notes of the source
appointment.
Appointment reason notes show in the REASON area of the pop-up
window shown when you hover over the appointment in the calendar:
Clinical description notes
Use clinical description notes to record information about the clinical
problems of the patient when you make the appointment. A veterinarian usually adds
the clinical description notes.Figure 2. Clinical description notes
After you save the appointment, ezyVet automatically
makes a copy of the clinical description notes in the presenting problem notes of
the related clinical record. If you subsequently change the clinical description
notes of the appointment, ezyVet automatically changes
the related presenting problem notes. And if you change the presenting problem notes
of a clinical record, ezyVet automatically changes the
clinical description notes of the source appointment.
Clinical description notes show in the PRESENTING PROBLEM(S)
area of the pop-up window shown when you hover over the appointment in the
calendar:
Note: When you make an appointment, you can also select a related clinical record. (As a
result, it is not necessary to make a clinical record at the same time that you make
the appointment.) In this condition, ezyVet always
automatically copies the presenting problem notes of the clinical record to the
clinical description notes of the new appointment.
Note: When you make an appointment, you can enter appointment reason notes and clinical
description notes. In this condition, ezyVet only copies
the clinical description notes to the clinical record.
